Hoosiers On SI sat down with new Indiana basketball Darian DeVries on Friday. One topic was how he embraces the Indiana tradition.

"Right now it's about putting a staff and a roster together," DeVries said. "Certainly it's been well received. Everybody is excited about Indiana basketball. As you know, it's one of the biggest brands in this sport. We're excited about assembling this group and looking forward to seeing what it looks like when it all comes out in the end."

Turn back the clock to when Darian DeVries was at Drake and see how a deliberate approach could lead the Hoosiers to foundational success.
